Compared to a lot of the Paul's other clients, I am probably Mr Ordinary. Even though I had dipped in and out of the gym and martial arts classes for years, I had allowed myself to fall into a state of serious disrepair having moved house, job and becoming a new father.

I had approached Paul in despair over the amount of weight I had put on and my perceived inability to fit a sturdy training regime into my life as a full time employee and father of two boys.

Paul designed a 12-week programme which was easy enough for a beginner or returning gym member to follow.

If I cut to the chase, Paul changed my body and my life.  My body fat plummeted from 32% to 18% whilst I gained 20 lbs of muscle - all in just 12 weeks.  Whilst those stats are alone impressive and testament to Paul's methods, it is other aspects of Paul's character and programme which still astound me.

I was initially very frightened and embarassed at returning to the gym.  Paul encouraged me and made me feel at ease.  He actually integrated me into the gym in a way where I felt like all his other clients were life-long friends.  Paul has created an immense 'community' of people who are mutually supportive and helpful.

Without even realising it at first, Paul had designed my programme in a way that made me feel like I had achieved something every single day.  I felt like I was continually progressing and this was hugely motivating in itself.  Paul taught me how to attack weights with my mind as well as my body and showed me how to tweak my training and diet in order to maximise the results of each and every workout.

Paul creates a 'can-do' programme that is very achievable and progressive.  If you are just an ordinary person like me, please dont allow the fear of failure or the intimidation of a new gym put you off.  Just bite the bullet and contact Paul and you will never look back.  In fact, the only negativity you will ever feel is toward the time you lost not training with him years earlier.

Sure, it's great to read the books of Bill Philips, Gillian McKeith and other health and motivational gurus, just remember you also have one on your very doorstep.
